Polewear for everyone who (doesn't) pole dance
To practice pole dancing, you need direct body contact with the pole to have the necessary support. This places certain demands on the sportswear: it should be light, but not revealing, supportive and not slipping.
Pole dancing requires sportswear that you can't just find in a normal sports shop. Unfortunately! But polewear has so much more to offer than just being polewear. The skimpy covering paired with a finish that can withstand extreme movements means the clothing can be worn both for sport and in your free time. Where, you ask? Here is a small selection:
- In the gym as a sports bra: The tops offer enough support for all movements, both during yoga and weight lifting.
- At the party as an unusual crop top: They also look great combined under an over-sized sweater or blazer.
- On the beach as a beach volleyball outfit: The crotch of the bottom is sewn wider than the classic bikini, so that even with big movements everything stays where it should.
- And, and, and...: There are no limits to the possibilities. What do you want to use your new polewear for?
Why “sui.”?
Pole dancing is often perceived by the public as “dancing for others.” Someone dances on the pole to impress spectators. However, anyone who talks to pole dancers quickly realizes that pole dancing is primarily a sport for oneself.
The combination of strength, flexibility, and expression in pole dancing enables a completely new body awareness and shifts the focus away from outward appearance to the capabilities of one's own body. This is precisely the attitude that our brand embodies: away from the perspective of the spectator and toward the self, toward one's own feelings.
The name “sui.” is derived from the Latin word for “self” and thus embodies our philosophy: pole dancing is a sport that focuses on self-confidence, independence, and the joy of movement. And our pole wear accompanies you on this journey.
The founder
Many words describe what pole dancing has given me over the past few years. Through this sport, I have evolved from being constantly in my head to being more in touch with my gut. It has given me an awareness of my own body that I never had before.
Pole dancing forced me to look at myself in the mirror without filters and to stop seeing fat rolls, dimples, and imperfections, but instead to see what my body can do: it can carry me, lift me, bend me. I can rely on my body. And therefore also on my abilities.
I want to convey this feeling with my pole dancing sportswear."
